Hi everyone! Just signed up. Bought a 17’ JKU Big Bear edition a little over a year ago. The first I’ve owned, but not the first Jeep we’ve had (Patriot previously, Dad had an 89’ Wrangler, grandfather had a wangoneer). No mods yet. First thing I hope to do is a lift I think. Have not been off-roading with this one and truthfully haven’t been myself in a very long time. Look forward to getting out there and bringing my daughter along to experience it!

Welcome to the forums, if your looking to get out offroading certainly get on the wait list. As for mods to the it, I would think about what your goals are before just throwing mods at the jeep. You would be surprised how capable these vehicles are straight out of the factory with some good tires.
'97 thats been chopped up and put back together, and ready to take on the trails.

Hi, and welcome. I agree with Jim, see what you are interested in doing and maybe try a few opens, get on the waiting list and see what your Jeep can do before dumping a ton of cash into it. I think you'll be pleasantly surprised.
Chrome? Never heard of it.

I’m on the waiting list. I definitely am going to take the suggestion of waiting to do anything, maybe some tires. If there are any ideas for any ideas for places to take it off road that would be awesome (not sure if that is ok to do on here). I don’t know if any places unfortunately
